About Diligencia
Diligencia is a specialist information services provider, focused on due diligence solutions and corporate intelligence across Africa and the wider Middle East.
Established in 2008, we use advanced technology and human insight to gather and compile high-quality legal entity data in territories where public domain information is not readily available. This data acts both as a foundation for our clients’ KYC and due diligence activities as well as our own investigative research; the data and insight we provide informs opinions and accelerates our clients’ decisions.
Headquartered in Oxford, Diligencia has offices in Tangier, Morocco, and Dubai in the UAE, coordinating our data gathering activities across emerging markets. Our vision is to bring clarity to a region poorly served by reliable and accessible public record information.
What we believe in
Clarity – our guiding philosophy informing everything we do, from the quality of our information, how we communicate and what we enable our clients with i.e., enabling clarity in their decision making
Authenticity – our information is authentic because we have gone back to original and official data sources to establish unequivocal facts. We also strive to be authentic, open, and honest in our relationships with each other internally, and the clients and partners we work closely with; we provide information on emerging markets, which we believe should be easily and openly accessible to everyone
Tenacity – we have had to work hard to build our database, tying together data from several different sources, sometimes entering it manually. Our company history, therefore, speaks of tenacity, the same kind of tenacity and attention to detail all our employees show when they go about their research
Relationships – the relationships between the subjects on our database unlock the power of our information; the relationships we have with our clients, our employees, our suppliers, and our host governments are also key to our future success.
